What the royals got in their A-levels - including Prince Harry and Kate Middleton
As students up and down the country celebrate or commiserate their A-levels - including the Royal Family's own Lady Louise Windsor - how have monarchy members fared in their exams over the years?
The younger generation are the only ones to have sat their A-levels, but the likes of Prince Charles and his siblings completed their education with O-levels, which is the equivalent of today’s GCSEs.
While the Queen has no formal qualifications, she was privately educated at home by a governess. After the abdication of her uncle Edward VIII in 1936, Elizabeth received private tuition in constitutional history from Henry Marten, Vice-Provost of Eton College, to prepare her for her future role as monarch.
Here’s how the Queen’s grandchildren did in their A-levels.
